This program saved the government $28 million a year. Now Trump is killing it
The Green Proving Ground program was a test bed for sustainable building technologies that provided the government with major energy savings.
A nearly 15-year-old federal program designed to test and implement emerging technologies for reducing energy waste in buildings appears to have been canceled by the Trump Administration. The Green Proving Ground program, launched in 2011 and run by the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Energy (DOE), was created to evaluate new private-sector green building technologies by installing them within federal facilities. Multiple sources tell Fast Company that projects previously approved for participation in the program have just been canceled. The Green Proving Ground’s webpages have been deleted from the GSA’s website.
